Abstract: A method includes receiving, by at least one processor, a request to send a message to a recipient computing device, locking, by the at least one processor, the message to send to the recipient computing device using at least one factor of a number of factors, determining, by the at least one processor, a recipient associated with the recipient computing device and sending the message to the recipient computing device, determining, by one of the at least one processor and the recipient computing device, whether the message can be unlocked by the recipient computing device based on the number of factors, and unlocking, by one of the at least one processor and the recipient computing device, the message based on the number of factors.
